numbering the records printed in a mail merge

[myrnapap]

Is it possible to number the records in the order they are printed in a
Mail Merge without having the number in the data file?

Thanks,
Myrna

You may be able to use a { MERGESEQ } field but
a. it will only give the right number if you don't make individual record
selections
b. recently I've found it returns a blank in merge preview and only gives
the correct result when you merge.

Where do I put the { MERGESEQ } field and where can I read more about this?
Thanks,

Insert it where you need it in the document, eier from the Word fields
drop-down on the Mailmerge toolbar or by clicking ctrl-F9 to enter the {}
and typing MERGESEQ between the {}
